But that doesn't discount the divinity inherent in sacred plants such as the P. cubensis mushroom, Amanita Muscaria, Salvia Divinorum, and of course the Ayahuasca plants which contain DMT. These sacraments validate spirituality while at the same time making the whole concept of religion obsolete. Despite disparate aims and personnel of its constituent members, the underground is agreed on basic objectives. We intend to march on the police machine everywhere. We intend to destroy the police machine and all its records. We intend to destroy all dogmatic verbal systems. The family unit and its cancerous expansion into tribes, countries, nations, we will eradicate at its vegetable roots. We don't want to hear any more family talk, mother talk, father talk, cop talk, priest talk, country talk or party talk. To put it country simple, we have heard enough bullshit. |

The inception of ALL religions was to create rules to prevent the human from accessing Spiritual realms without the control and management of humans psychological well being by the NEW RULE MAKERS. The "SIN" invented to whip humans into DENIAL of our relation to the unseen/spiritual realms is the use of any DIVINE substances that will assist in attaining the very altered states wherein we "see" our connectedness to the Spiritual Realms. When we are cut off from the unseen DIVINE and rendered insecure we are as terrified little children needing a "SHEPHERD" to guide us and collect alms for itz enforced middleman position between us and our OWN DIVINITY, assuring we will never free our minds again to do our own accessing of our OWN HIGHER NATURE. Thus are the incomprehensible LAWS against NATURES blessed gifts to invite us into the GARDEN of SPIRITUAL DELIGHTS for renewal of our SPIRITUAL connection to SOURCE . |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 526671 United States 10/15/2008 06:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Did Jesus Ever Exist? A look at the historical evidence All that is needed is a look at the historical evidence: A. The Christian Sources 1. The 27 different New Testament documents. 2. The writings of the Church Fathers (Polycarp, Eusebius, Irenaeus, Origen, etc.). It is also noteworthy that Christians throughout the ages were prepared to suffer persecution and even death for His name's sake, and the entire human history has been divided into a pre- and post- Christ era, which has been entrenched in our calendar for centuries. B. The Non-Biblical Sources 1. Tacitus, the Roman historian writing in about 115 AD, speaks about Nero�s persecution of Christians in the year 64 AD: "But all the endeavors of men, all the emperor's largesses and the propitiations of the gods, did not suffice to allay the scandal or banish the belief that the fire had been ordered. And so, to get rid of this rumor, Nero set as the culprits and punished with the utmost refinery of cruelty, a class hated for their abominations, who are commonly called Christians. Christus, from whom their name is derived, was executed at the hands of the procurator Pontius Pilate in the reign of Tiberius. Checked for the moment, this pernicious superstition again broke out, not only in Judea, the source of the evil, but even in Rome, that receptacle for everything that is sordid and degrading from every quarter of the globe, which there finds a following." (Josh McDowell. 1972. Evidence That Demands a Verdict. Campus Crusade International, Arrowhead Springs.) 2. Suetonius, the Roman historian, refers to "Chrestus" (which is probably a confusion of "Christus", i.e. Christ) in his Life of Claudius (the emperor from 41 to 54), which was written about 120 AD. He is probably referring to quarrels between Jews and Christians about Jesus. Since the Jews were continually making disturbances at the instigation of Chrestus, he (Claudius) expelled them from Rome. 3. The Talmud is a collection of Jewish traditions which dates from the third century. "On the eve of Passover, they hanged Yeshu of Nazareth, and the herald went before him for forty days, saying, �Yeshu of Nazareth is going forth to be stoned in that he hath practiced sorcery and beguiled and led astray Israel. Let everyone knowing aught in his defense come and plead for him.' But they found naught in his defense and hanged him on the eve of Passover."

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 493937 United States 10/15/2008 06:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Evidence of Mushrooms in Judeo-Christianity Academic endorsements for The Holy Mushroom: Christianity and the Piltdown Hoax share many similarities: In both stories the information was constructed and then salted into the information stream, and, through the word of noted scholars, presented as fact, the truth. Scholars have egos and once committed to their ideas through scholarly publications, faculty meetings, and conferences, have difficulty seeing, hearing, or even appreciating an adverse view. To waver from a strongly held opinion could spell academic ruin and withdrawal of acclaim. This leads to lively debate, counter stories, and even character assassination if one side or the other is being out trumped in the symbolic mêlée. Jan Irvin (The Holy Mushroom) has captured what we might call an “anthropology of clarification” regarding whether or not mushrooms, and mind-altering substances in general, played any role in the development of not only Judaism and Christianity but the total culture in play at that time. It is now recognized in many academic communities (anthropologists, sociologists, psychiatrists, psychologists) that sufficient evidence exists of the importance of these substances, both textual and visual, to say “yes” in very large letters. It is no longer theory. The questions Irvin asks is this: “If mind-altering substances did play this major role, then how would this affect our interpretations of the Bible and the Qur’an? Would this shed light on the origins of mystical experiences and the stories, for example Abraham hearing voices and Ezekiel’s convenient visions? What would this suggest about the shamanic behavior of Jesus? What impact would this have on organized religion? These are bold questions. This is a very useful volume for those interested in the Holy Mushroom, Amanita muscaria, and the politics of truth. Detailed and wonderfully illustrated; great bibliography. ~ Professor John A. Rush, Sierra College John Allegro's revelation of the sacramental role of a sacred mushroom in the ancient religions spanning the agrarian region from Mesopotamia to the Near East was immediately and unfairly rejected by a chorus of scholars less competent than him, but continuing research into early Christianity and the mystery religions of the Greco-Roman world and their perpetuation in alchemy and European folkloric traditions has vindicated the correctness of his discovery. ~ Professor Carl A. P. Ruck, Boston University Jan Irvin has produced a most thoughtful and valuable account of debate around the use of hallucinogenic mushrooms in early Christianity. Irvin's careful account of the main protagonists, their sources and intellectual motivations shows the importance of continuing research on this significant moment in early Christian thought, as well as how academic research itself is affected by the cultural attitudes of the day. In adducing new textual evidence and showing the iconographic prevalence of the mushroom motif Jan Irvin is to be warmly congratulated - all serious scholarship for the future will have to take account of his achievement. ~ Professor Neil Whitehead, University of Wisconsin, Madison ` |
